After noting the consequences of the border crisis, Pence stated that it’s an offshoot of “progressive policies” from Biden, Harris, and other Democrats. Finally, the former vice president stated that Democrats can end the Southern border crisis by bringing back “commonsense border enforcement”; this largely involves allowing ICE and Border Patrol officials to do their jobs.
Radio silence from President Biden
At this time, the president has not responded to the op-ed from Pence. Biden also has yet to respond to the lawsuit against him from the Texas attorney general.
Republicans have grown increasingly critical of Biden as the border crisis gets worse. Former President Trump recently weighed in on the matter as well; according to Trump, the border’s current condition is a result of Biden not leaving things as they were when he first came into office.
Some voters with loyalty to the GOP are hopeful that Biden’s poor management of the Southern border ultimately helps Republicans retake the Senate and House majorities.
